Man, I am the visionary of the middle east. No, I am not psychic but I swear I think I am becoming one. I just know this region so much that I could be an analyst
It seems that all what I predicted in the last article (welcome to the middle east ..
http://ramsesthesecond.livejournal.com/43894.html ) is starting to happen less than one month from my predicting article.
Of course I am happy to see it happening. not just because I wanted to say I told you so from the start, but most importantly, to know for sure that the Egyptian government isn't letting what happened in Khartoum pass without punishing whoever did it and start forming the region exactly as it wants.
You see, Last month, Egypt ended the authorization of Iran's "Al Alam" news channel on Nile Sat and the channel's broadcast stopped permanently on the most important satellite in the region especially in Egypt. The channel broadcasts on Arab Sat but the number of its viewers allover the Arab world especially in Egypt will be almost as big as a Zero.
Mubarak did a fast visit to Europe while the Gulf summit in Muscat took place and the news came that a triad of Kuwait, UAE and KSA beaten up Qatar for the Iran - Qatar - Algeria dirty game last month.
Just one day after his return, Mubarak had a visitor. and who else but the foreign minister of Iran... We don't even want to know what was said in this meeting and let me remind you that Iran's foreign minister's visits were never that successful nor that repetitive.
In the same week of the visit, the same week after the Gulf summit was ended with the historical first warning to Iran to stop interfering with the internal affairs of the Arab gulf and the same week when Mubarak met the Iranian foreign minster, he announced a gulf tour and where to??? do we even need to guess?
Mubarak toured three Gulf countries, The anti - Iran triad, Kuwait, UAE and KSA. There must be some reason for his visit !! but even a street guy like me knows.
As if it already needed any more signs to see the big picture, The same day Mubarak was expected to return to Egypt. Egypt's prime minister, Ahmed Nazif, was meeting Qatar's Ambassador in Cairo and the goals of the meeting were as declared; to reinforce Egypt - Qatar relationships and let me mention the exact words Egypt's prime minister said after the meeting ,"Egypt pays much attention and caring to Qatari investments in Egypt"
Qatar is facing a huge wave of anger after its rule in the Egyptian - Algerian crisis and it seems that Iran's tricks of friendship with the Arab gulf are already exposed by the recent events. This is a new age here in the middle east where differences are treated in the closet not in front of every one.
If I may predict something else. let me tell you this, The way Arab governments deal with their differences these days says that things change and they learn some lessons from Europe...You can have a big crisis but you still have the main frame of addressing them..
This is what I predict, more freedom for every country within the main frame of the Arab league... unlike Nasser's project of one country...
This is what I shall call Neo - Arabs.
